ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space\nincluding reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur\nRadio operators who share an active interest in designing, building,\nlaunching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio\nsatellites.\n\nThe news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur\nRadio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\nans-editor at amsat.org.\n\nIn this edition:\n\n* Cruising to the 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium\n* ARISS-US Receives $5,000 Grant from Yasme Foundation\n* Best Fist Nominations Due\n* Your 2015 Space Symposium Photos Needed!\n* ARISS Commemorative SSTV Event Update\n* ARISS News\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-010.01\nANS-010 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 010.01\n>From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\n[MONTH DAY, YEAR]\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-010.01\n\n\nCruising to the 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium\n\nThe 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium will be held aboard a commercial\ncruise ship departing from the port of Galveston, Texas.  Sail dates\nare November 10-14 aboard the Carnival Liberty.  Galveston is\nconveniently located near Houston, Texas with access from both the\nGeorge Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and the Houston Hobby\nAirport (HOU.)  This cruise will embark on Thursday afternoon at\n16:00 CST and return on the following Monday morning at 08:00 CST.\nThe trip includes two full days at sea and one day in port at\nCozumel, Mexico.  Symposium presentations and meetings will be\nconducted during the days at sea to allow free time during the stop\nin Cozumel.  The AMSAT Board of Directors meeting will occur on shore\nat a Galveston hotel in the days prior to the Symposium.\n\nThis year's cruise ship venue offers an environment for significant\nothers, families, and friends to attend the AMSAT Symposium event\nwith you.  Many activities are available on a cruise ship including\nmusical and theatrical performances, comedy, dancing, and casino\ngaming.  During the stop in Cozumel there are many onshore activities\nand excursions available for your pleasure.  There will be no post-\nSymposium tour offered since this venue incorporates the Cozumel\nvisit.\n\nIn preparation for this upcoming Symposium it is recommended you\nobtain a passport for travel as soon as possible.   United States\nresidents may find the most convenient place to obtain a passport is\ntheir nearest US Post Office. Not all USPS locations offer this\nservice; check the US Postal Service website:\nhttps://www.usps.com/international/passports.htm\n\nDetails on travel documents required for US citizens to take a\nCarnival cruise originating at a US Port and returning to the same\nport may be found here:\nhttps://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1406\n\nAMSAT is offering a group rate and booking code available starting\nJanuary 5.  Please book your cruise directly by calling 1-800-438-\n6744 and dialing extension number 70005.  Our group name is AMSAT and\nthe group code is 8Z0FR5.  It is recommended you make reservations\nvery early since cabins are held for a short period of time.\nReservations require a $150 USD per person deposit.  The deposit is\nfully refundable up until September 11.   Rates may vary depending\nupon cabin type selected and occupancy.  Please utilize the group\ncode as this directly benefits the Symposium and the amenities we are\nable to offer attendees.\n\nFurther details will be released in the coming months via ANS, AMSAT-\nBB, and the AMSAT Journal.\n\n[ANS thanks Clayton W5PFG for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nARISS-US Receives $5,000 Grant from Yasme Foundation\n\nThe ARISS-US Team is thrilled to announce that it received a $5,000\ngrant from the Yasme Foundation, awarded to support the development\nof the power converters needed as a part of an extensive upgrade to\nthe entire ARISS radio system onboard the International Space\nStation.\n\nWard Silver, N0AX, President of the Yasme Foundation, www.yasme.org,\nsaid the Yasme Board decided to support ARISS, in part, as a catalyst\nfor individuals and other groups to follow suit by donating to the\nradio system cause.  Ward commented:\n\n“While you have a long way to go in funding the whole upgrade\nproject, we hope our grant will encourage organizations and\nindividuals to donate to ARISS. Yasme is happy to get that ball\nrolling.”\n\nARISS International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, noted that receiving\ngrants from more groups similar to Yasme can result in bigger\nsponsors being much more likely to donate funds and in-kind resources\nto the radio project. The 12 ARISS Delegates from around the world\nhad voted in August 2015 to move forward with the planning that will\nultimately develop all hardware needed for an upgraded ARISS radio\nsystem if funding could be raised. ARISS Chair Bauer, explaining that\nthe power converters are critical to the overall ARISS equipment\nupgrade, remarked:\n\n“The Yasme grant will jump start the project by allowing the ARISS\nhardware team to build a prototype converter, purchase critical parts\nfor the flight converters, and further develop the design.  We will\ncontinue our pursuit of other funding so as to realize the completion\nof the entire upgrade project.”\n\nARISS-US Delegate Rosalie White, K1STO, thanked Silver for his\npersonal effort in delineating ARISS’s hardware needs and goals to\nthe Yasme Board.  She added:\n\n“Garnering the Yasme grant is a major step in helping ARISS progress\nwith our fundraising for the upgraded system.  We are elated to know\nthat Yasme has faith in ARISS and its goals of piquing the interest\nof young people in science, technology, engineering, math, space,\ncommunications, and amateur radio.”\n\nJust three weeks ago in mid-December, a group of ARISS-US team\nmembers were at Johnson Space Center solidifying plans for the design\nof this next generation radio system. Other groups and individuals\ninterested in supporting ARISS goals through a donation can contact\nFrank Bauer, KA3HDO, at [email protected] or can go to the AMSAT\nWebsite, www.amsat.org, and submit a donation directly using the\nARISS Donate button. ARISS rewards a beautiful ARISS Challenge Coin\nto donors giving $100.00 or more.\n\nAbout ARISS\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a\ncooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the\nspace agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In\nthe United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite\nCorporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), and the\nNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).The primary goal\nof ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,\nengineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled\ncontacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and\nstudents in classrooms or informal education venues.  With the help\nof experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly\nwith large audiences in a variety of public forums.  Before and\nduring these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and\ncommunities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.\nFor more information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and\nwww.arrl.org.\n\n[ANS thanks Yasme ans ARISS for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nBest Fist Nominations Due\n\nRay Soifer, W2RS, would like to thank to all who participated in\nAMSAT's Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2016.
